While this is part of the grammar, it would be nice to have a concise explanation of both:

  • How to use superscripts to indicate power
  • How p6 supports unicode numeric literals

And have there be a link between these two sections.

⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹

In case someone needs the literals to add as X<> markers.

FWIW, a little bit of that exists on unicode_texas page.

See also issue #1098

Also:

  • How to use superscripts to indicate power

Receives somewhat relevant mention with last paragraph of https://docs.perl6.org/language/syntax#Identifiers

Index everything on unicode_texas page
da26660 
Resolves issue #1373.

This means that from now on some things may appear more than once in
the search. We'll see how annoying it is. If it is, we can start
removing symbols that are explained elsewhere (but note that a lot of
things are only mentioned on unicode_texas page, so don't revert the
whole commit).

For proper documentation on ¹⁻⁹ see #1098. This ticket should be resolved after da26660.

Also, “How p6 supports unicode numeric literals” is already explained in https://docs.perl6.org/language/unicode_texas#Numeric_characters and https://docs.perl6.org/language/unicode_texas#Numeric_values
